Dear Norbert,
I talk about my situations:
* I run `/usr/local/texlive/*/bin/*/tlmgr path add` only first.
* And, when I install engine packages, I run `tlmgr path add`.
When I install ptex package via tlmgr, the steps are:
1. tlmgr installs ptex package and creates
/usr/local/texlive/2017/x86_64-linux/ptex
2. tlmgr runs fmtutil for rebuilding and fmtutil search ptex in PATH env
3. But, ptex is not in PATH, so, fmtutil raises errors
4. Finally, tlmgr raises fmtutil errors
My cosidering:
* TL bin(/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux) is too specific
i.e. when I update texlive 2016 to 2017, I must change PATH bin.
* TeXLive provides `tlmgr path add` action, so, should provide correct
action for `tlmgr path add` user?
* tlmgr install ptex is wrong action initially
However, I have less understanding for TeXLive.
I think this is a bug for `tlmgr path add` users, but, maybe this is a
feature request, isn't?

Will this be applied to fmtutil?
Hope to hear from you.
